Robert, Viscount of Lorraine

Robert, Viscount of Lorraine (1537-) was the Viscount of Lorraine in the Kingdom of France during the reign of King Henry II of France.

Biography
Robert was born in 1537, and he became the Viscount of Lorraine, a region of north-east France. He served at the court of King Henry II of France, and, in 1557, he met Kenna of Poitiers at a dance. In order to demonstrate the fact that royal favor could grant a woman whatever she wished (including marriage without proof of virginity), Henry brought Robert to Kenna and asked Robert if he would marry Kenna without question due to a royal command, and Robert agreed. He then sent Robert on his way, and he then told Kenna that, even if she lost her virginity to him by becoming his mistress, she could still marry a French noble of high standing.
